Hey,

for you snug top shell owners, can you tell me how far over the rail the shell comes down (on the outside)? Does it have 1/2", 1/4", or some other lip measurement?

the reason I ask is because I want to know how far over the rail I should have my line-x liner sprayed. I want to keep it hidden by the shell.

thanks in advance for the help

The shell does not come down over the side at all. The rubber seal of the Snugtop sits on top of the bed rail and the shell itself does not extend further down. The shell is kind of level with the top of the bed rail. You would either spray inside the bed up until the horizontal bit of the bed rail starts (i.e. the rubber seal of the Snugtop will sit on the paint, which is fine) or you spray the top of you bed rail as well but NOT past the point where it bends down because you will see that. Hope this is of help.
Cheers,

before i had my rails done , i installed my top and outlined the area where it sat on my rails (used a black crayon ) the removed the top.when i took it in to be sprayed ,i showed the guy the outline and told him what i wanted . it came out perfect

anybody else?

Looking at the snugtop brochure, it looks like they may have redesigned the shells to come down a little further. at least it appears this way for the 1/2 tons. can anyone confirm this.

you guys with the snug top shell, can you post pics please:

if it comes down to it, i guess i can put the shell on, mark it, remove it, have the truck sprayed, then reinstall it. but what a pain in the a$$

Attached pictures (I hope). Mine is their Expo model (2004). I would be surprised if they had changed their shells but you can send Snugtop an e-mail to confirm.
Cheers,

Hey kylant......i don't have a snug-top....but i do have an are topper and just like aussie....it's dead even. Plus any good line-x dealer will be familiar with the different tops......i'm sure the job they do will be "money"....
